COMES NOW Eliot Bernstein, Appellant Pro se, who respectfully pleads and prays before this
Court as follows:

THIS COURT SHOULD STAY ANY CURRENT AND FUTURE OBLIGATIONS OFCLAIMANT WILLIAM STANSBURY TO PAY CHICAGO ILLINOIS “LITIGATIONCOUNSEL” IN THE ILLINOIS INSURANCE CASE ON BEHALF OF THE ESTATE OFSIMON BERNSTEIN:

1. I am Eliot Bernstein pro se, a Beneficiary of the Estate of Simon Bernstein with standing and an
interested party herein.

2. I support William Stansbury’s motion to be relieved from any current and future payment
obligations to Chicago litigation counsel on behalf of the Estate of Simon Bernstein but assert
that these obligations should be Stayed at this time and the matter stayed and continued pending
outcome of future hearings and the sorting out of conflicts of interest and correction of the
multiple and various frauds upon the Court.

3. There has always been an inherent Conflict of Interest in this arrangement whereby William
Stansbury as a Claimant against the Estate of Simon Bernstein has simultaneously been paying
for Litigation Counsel for the Estate which Stansbury is otherwise litigating against in a separate
civil action.

4. Part of these conflicts of interest and the need for the Courts to use its Inherent powers is set out
in the federal litigation in Illinois and I have attached as Exhibits filings before the US 7th
Circuit Court of Appeals and a Motion for an Injunction filed in the US District Court under the
All Writs Act which is also the subject of appeal at the 7th Circuit which not only highlights the
conflicts but further provides grounds for this Court to Stay proceedings and use injunctive
powers clearly demonstrating “Missing Millions”, “Missing Originals”, “Missing Witnessses”
and related conflicts. See Exhibit 1 Motion to Accept Late Filing at US 7th Circuit; Exhibit 2
Jurisdictional Statement at US 7th Circuit, Exhibit 3, All Writs Act Injunction at US District
Court.

5. The Conflicts of interest in this case, however, go deeper as thus far Claimant Stansbury has
“settled” with Ted Bernstein in an Undisclosed Settlement not approved by any Court which has
improperly allowed Ted Bernstein to settle out “indivdually” claims against himself made by
Stansbury while also simultaneously acting in the role as Trustee of the Shirley Trust and PR of
the Shirley Estate and further on behalf of other corporate entities thus shifting the burden of
liability to the Estate of Simon Bernstein where there has been no production of Records from
the Corporate entities and no Hearings on Accountings from the Shirley Bernstein Trust or Estate
or any Hearings on Objections to Accountings in the Simon Trust or Estate.

6. The Conflicts are more exaggerated when contemplating that William Stansbury himself is and
was at all relevant times the “Trust Protector” for substantial investments at Wilmington Trust
which according to Account statements in August of 2012 just weeks before Simon’s death
reflected approximately $2.8 Million for Simon Bernstein’s 49% share in BFI ( Bernstein
Family Investments ) which remains wholly unaccounted for and missing.

7. This is even more exaggerated by the suggestion of William Stansbury that it was likely that
Shirley Bernstein’s 49% in BFI also had holdings with Wilmington Trust which could make this
nearly $6 Million Unaccounted for yet there are no Accountings or Hearings thus far granted by
this Court despite these parties and this Court being aware of these actions for more than an
adequate period of time, exceeding months at this point.

8. It is anticipated that William Stansbury will continue to cooperate with myself and will provide
further Sworn Statements in these proceedings highlighting his knowledge of improprieties,
fraud and further that Stansbury has indicated his Counsel Peter Feaman will voluntarily agree to
a Deposition statement on his knowledge of fraud and procedural and substantive improprieties
including in leading up to the Validity Trial itself and the parties simply need to gather a date for
such Deposition which should be timely held as this will also impact the ongoing Illinois
litigation.

9. Judge Scher has Witnessed and has knowledge of proven Fraud before this Court by TedBernstein and Alan Rose which has at least been tacitly permitted by PR Brian O’Connell and
has gone on for over a year and impacted multiple proceedings.

10.Judge Scher is obligated under law to Order appropriate Discovery to correct these frauds and held proper evidentiary hearings.

11. This Court’s Order of April 27, 2017 confirms in part one avenue of the Fraud whereby TedBernstein and Alan Rose have falsely put forth a scheme to deny Eliot Bernstein standing and
fair opportunities to be heard in the proceedings on the grounds he was not a Beneficiary “of
anything” and not a beneficiary in the Estate of Simon Bernstein

13. ("[W]here the moving party's allegations raise a colorable entitlement to rule 1.540(b)(3) relief, a
formal evidentiary hearing on the motion, as well as permissible discovery prior to the hearing, is
required."); Kidder v. Hess, 481 So. 2d 984, 986 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986); Stella v. Stella, 418 So.
2d 1029 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982); see also Robinson. Moreover, the courts have held that the
hearing requirement applies when fraud is asserted as a grounds for relief under either rule 1.530
or 1.540, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. See Stella. The motion filed by Robinson sufficiently
alleges fraud and demonstrates how it affected the judgment, thereby satisfying the requirement
for an evidentiary hearing under either rule 1.530 or 1.540.”

14. In fact, as clear and convincing proof that this scheme to defraud set in motion before this Court
is Central to the proceedings and thus Fraud on the Court standards met now triggering this
Court’s duty to act, this Court of Judge Scher’s own Case Management Order of Dec. 13, 2016
which set the schedule for why we are all present in Court today on Feb. 16, 2017 in fact recites
and relied upon the Fraud and False statements of Alan Rose attorney in the Case Management
Order itself Paragraph 4 showing-claiming “Ted S. Bernstein as Successor Trustee of Trust
which is Sole Beneficiary of the Estate { DE 473 }.”.

15. This Court of Judge Scher has or should have actual direct knowledge having had sufficient time to review the Records of proceedings on file with the 15th Judicial and the filings of the parties to know and actually know there has been NO CONSTRUCTION HEARING on the Operative Testamentary documents, No Notice of any such hearing and no hearing in fact occurring and thatthis fraud directly spills over to the entire Shirley Bernstein Trust and Estate case and all matters should be stayed.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed for an Order staying and continuing all current
and future obligations for William Stansbury to pay the Chicago Litigation counsel fees of the
Estate of Simon Bernstein and for a Stay and continuance of all proceedings herein until
Discovery is complied with and Ordered if necessary and all conflicts of interest sorted out, all
frauds corrected and and for such other relief as may seem just and proper.
